A Woman's Discovery

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by a lady in
in this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest test, but
her vital organs were undetermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought OF us a
bottle OF DIR. Kings New Discovery
for CONSUMPTION and was 50 much re-
ieyed on taking first dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle has
been miraculously cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther LutZ.n Thus writes

a DOUBLR-RDGED sWORD.

That the temperance movement
throughout the United States is des-
tined to WELD an enormous influence
in the politics of the future is a fact
that every person who has given the
subject any deep thought will readily
admit, if he be not entirely prejudiced.
That the advanced advocates of the
temperance cause have done the re-
publican party an immense amount
of injury will also be readily con-
coded by the enemies and friends of
both, and that this same element, es-
pecially in New York, will throw the
electoral vote of that state at the
next presidential election into the
hands of the democracy is now almost
a certainty. Indeed owing to this
reason, the outlook for republican
victory next year, from present indica-
tions, to one who can take an i'm
partial view of things, is extremely
slim.
But If the temperance movement in
the north has proven to have had such
powerful influence in disrupting re-
publican calculations, the very same
movement promises even greater re-
suits in the south, where heretofore in
many districts, and even in whole
states, no political organization other
than democratic has been allowed to
live. This has been the case principal
ly because the south has been divided
more by the color line than anything
else, the blacks, of course, when al
lowed to vote, always casting their bal
lots with the republican party, and the
whites-if they wished to live at peace
with their nOighbors-necssarily voting
for democracy.
But this temperance question is Just
at present beginning to play the part of
an entering wedge which may split
the solid south as effective
ly as it has done the
republican party in the north. An
eastern republican paper, in speaking
of the colored vote in the south says:
The negroes in the south, as shown
by the detailed vote by counties in
Virginia, are slowly but steadily aban-
doning the republican party. Demo-
cratic happiness over this fact, how
ever, is marred by the other fact that
Tor every black man who leaves the |
republicans two white men join them,
The first named fact bears to the sec
ond fact the relation which cause does |

pot very pleasing to the democrats, but |

A Chronic Tendency Overcome,

Many persons are troubled with
chronic tendency to constipation. They
are Of bilious temperament. The COM
plant to which they are subject, though
easily remediable by judiciOus treat
ment, is in many cases aggravated by
resort to drastic purgatiyes and chola-
gogues. AS the human stomach and
bowels are lined with delicate MEM
brane, and not with vulcanite, they
cannot stand prolonged drenching with
such medicines without serious injury.
Nothing restores and counteracts an
habitual tendency to constipation so
effectually as Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Its laxative effect is gentle aud
progressive. It neither convulses nor
Weakens the intestines, and its effects
are unaccompanied by gripping pains.
It arouses the liver when the organ is
sluggish, promotes digestion. and en-
cottages appetite and sleep. For fever
and ague, kidney troubles, nervous
complaints and incipient rheumatism.
1t is incompatible. Take 3 wineglass
before meals and see how soon you viii
relish them.

PENNsYLYANIA exchange

PENNSYLVANIA exchange: Western
towns which have boom appreciate
the power of the press. The people of
Tucson, Arizona, buy 5000 copies of
their local paper every month for the
purpose Of sending it abroad, and in ad-
dition pay it $500 a month for special
''write ups" The town of Lamar, Col
orado, recently paid the local paper
81 500 for a write up" and the citizens
of Fort Scott, Kansas, have just spent
$1,000 IN advertising the town. Hutch
inson, Kansas, claims to give its local
papers bonus of SIC, 1000 a year for re-
naming alive and kicking, while New
ton, Kansas, pays its paper S15, 900 a
year. There is nothing at all improper
in this, as the money is paid for legiti-
mate advertising. On the contrary, it
is very creditable to the citizens Of
those towns that they thus encourage
their local papers and at the same time
benefit themselves.

THE editor of the Republican says he
does not believe the statement of THE
NEWS, that s72 900 a year is sent from
this city to Kansas City for liquors. If
the Republican wishes to cling to even
a semblance of truth and veracity.it
should have been charry of making any
such statement, as ever business man
on the street of Emporia knows that it
is either an untruth or that it displays
a wOeful lack of information on the
part of one whose business it is to have
information.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by a gentleman in this
city from a friend who has lived in
California for the last twenty years:
OH What a mistake people are
making by coming to California, think
ing to grow rich by buying land, even
now hundreds wishing that they had
the means to return home with. The
southern part OF California is not what
1t Is described to be. At the present
time stock are dying by the hundreds,
and the hills are as destitute of Vegeta-
ton as any country road. Should this
